§ 48. Mr. C. S. Taylorasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his regulations enable members of the British Diplomatic Corps serving abroad to purchase British cars for their own use free of Purchase Tax.
§ Mr. GaitskellYes, Sir. Members of the Diplomatic Corps serving abroad are in the same position in this matter as any other British citizen living abroad.
§ Mr. TaylorIn view of that, will the Chancellor do his best to discourage individuals serving with the Diplomatic Corps from using American cars?
§ Mr. GaitskellI am not aware that they are using American cars to any extent, but, if the hon. Member will give the figures, I will look into them.
